Following the instructions in the Tutorial and the Info Manual as well as digesting the process has not been difficult. What I want to check is where to create the TAGS file. I know I would want to put a TAGS file in a directory were I am building a project in the future but.. where should I put the TAGS file for emacs itself. The Tutorial and Manual only ambiguously say: "in the appropriate directory" then give me suggestions for directories I and emacs don't use. Plus they make reference to source files which don't seem to exist separately. (I can download them if need be.) I do have '/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/emacs-lisp/' and '/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/' that contain my *.el (text) files. Would it be normal practice to compile TAGS files in those two directories? -- Regards Bill
